Situated in Boca Chica, 2.6 km from Playa Arena Bonita, Villas at Gone Fishing Panamá Resort features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.
Guest review
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Villas at Gone Fishing Resort in Boca Chica! From the moment we arrived, Brad, the owner, made us feel welcome and taken care of. He is such a great host – super friendly, helpful, and always around if you need anything.
The resort itself is a little paradise - feels like a hidden gem. The pool is fantastic for cooling off and relaxing, the rooms are very clean and comfortable, and the whole property is surrounded by beautiful nature, which makes it easy to completely unwind.
Breakfast was always delicious, especially the fresh fruits that were served every morning. We also went on the whale watching tour, which was a great experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
All in all, we had an unforgettable time at this place. If you’re looking for peace, nature, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere, Villas at Gone Fishing Resort is the perfect choice. Thank you so much, Brad!

Guest review
The location is in the heart of Casco Viejo. The room we had 101 I think in the Spanish building, was small but the bathroom was very comfortable. We had a room facing towards the gardens, which was lovely w an outdoor terrace shared by 3 rooms. From there we watched a bride taking pictures in the garden. The rooms facing the Avenue are louder with traffic and people walking by.

Situated in Boquete, Finca Panda offers 4-star accommodation with a garden and a terrace.
Guest review
Everything at Finca Panda was fantastic. The property and rooms are beautiful. It's outside of the town, so you have to travel to get to restaurants and shopping, but the views and serenity outweigh that minor inconvenience. The staff was very attentive -- helped arrange local transportation and did an on-site coffee tour for us around the property.

Boquete Garden Inn offers a one-of-a-kind experience in a peaceful and natural setting. Nestled within beautiful gardens, the property has 13 rooms, each with it´s own furnished private terrace.
Guest review
We loved Boquete Garden Inn. The breakfast was very good, everything was very clean, beds were comfortable, quiet location, staff was very helpful and friendly. They did laundry for us (for a fee) and it was worth every penny and smelled very nice. If you don't have a car you'll have to use taxis to get into town. The hotel has a list of drivers they recommend. We used Chalito the whole time and he was the freaking BEST! The taxis came very fast and were pretty cheap.
